Kerry Washington [1] has been pretty busy and somehow still found the time to post up in the yard for some makeshift "holiday" style selfies in her palm-tree-print maxi dress. From speaking at the Democratic National Convention [2] to helping Reese Witherspoon [3] throw an impromptu "New Year's Eve" party at the Emmys [4] in stunning Oscar de la Renta and Dolce & Gabbana dresses [5] (which she then put up for auction to raise money for When We All Vote [6]), it's safe to say she's had more on her agenda than Olivia Pope.
That just makes us appreciate the feel-good, be-free vibes she brought to our feeds even more. Kerry's #FashionFriday is more like our fashion every day mood. Her house dress of choice [7] is FARM Rio's Swinging Palm Linen midi, which has long sleeves and beaded tassels. It's airy, a little bit youthful — especially when complete with those funky oversize circular sunglasses and layered jewellery — and clearly ideal for posing selfie style. And yes, even though we normally think of palm trees as a summertime print, we still see no reason not to indulge in this addition to our wardrobes, just to let the sunshine in. Anyway, it'll help us look forward to a holiday in the future. Scroll through to shop Kerry's exact design, along with similar options at different price points.
